Chapter 782 Meeting an Assassin(1/2)

The matter in Zhuping County was almost done, so Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian decided to leave.

When the people learned that they were leaving, they rushed to the streets, their eyes full of reluctance.

They hope that Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian can stay here.

Xi Yu looked at these simple people and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said gently: "Everyone farms well and live well. I have to leave, and there are still many things waiting for me to do."

However, the people were not willing to let them leave just like this.

Many people knelt down and begged them to stay. They had tears in their eyes and said in a stern voice: "Sir, please stay! We cannot live without you."

At this time, the inside was walking out. He looked at the excited people and said loudly: "Don't make things difficult for the Prime Minister and the Lord. They must leave here and cannot be here forever. We should thank them for everything they have done for us, live a good life and live up to their expectations."

After hearing the correct words, the people were still reluctant to leave, but they also understood that they could not force Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian to stay.

They slowly stood up, looked at Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian with respectful eyes, and watched them gradually fade away.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian rode their horses and looked back at the people, their hearts filled with emotion.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian embark on a new journey.

Along the way, the scenery changed constantly, but their mood was still a little heavy, touched by the reluctance of the people.

Xi Yu looked into the distance and slowly spoke: "The people's requests are very simple. As long as they are kind to them, they will be particularly grateful."

His voice was filled with emotion, recalling the sincere faces of the people of Zhuping County.

Ouyang Lian rode his horse and walked with Xi Yu. He nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Remembering the Prime Minister's teachings, the subordinates will definitely do their best for the people."

Xi Yu turned his head to look at Ouyang Lian, with a look of relief in his eyes. "Officials should take the hearts of the people as their hearts. Only by truly seeking welfare for the people can they win their respect and love."

Ouyang Lian nodded silently and kept Xi Yu's words in mind.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian walked along the way, and before they knew it, they came to the familiar inn again.

The inn owner saw them coming from afar, and his face showed surprise and fear, and he quickly knelt down to salute.

Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and said in a calm tone: "You don't have to be polite, get up."

Ouyang Lian nodded and signaled the inn owner to get up.

The inn owner stood up and said with shame: "Two sirs, the villain was confused last time, and he actually wanted to attack the two sirs. I didn't expect you to come to the villain without grudges. The villain was really ashamed."

Xi Yu looked at the inn owner, without any reproach in his eyes. "No one can do anything wrong with a sage. It is enough for you to recognize your mistakes. Don't do anything confused again in the future."

Ouyang Lian also said: "You are magnanimous. You should cherish this tolerance, run the inn well, and provide convenience for passers-by."

The inn owner nodded repeatedly, and burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you for your teachings from both adults. The villain must remember it in his heart and reform himself."

Xi Yu looked at the inn owner and said seriously: "This time we came to tell you that we went to a certain village so that the people could have a variety of food and told them about the greenhouse technology."

The inn owner looked confused. Although he didn't understand it very much, from Xi Yu's words and expressions, he also understood that Xi Yu really did good things for the people.

His eyes showed admiration and said, "It is really admirable for the people to think about them wholeheartedly. This greenhouse technology will surely make the lives of the people better."

In order to express his debts, the inn owner said sincerely: "Two sirs, the villain will never charge you money this time. You have done so many good things for the people, and the villain really cannot repay you."

Xi Yu told him seriously: "No, do whatever you should do. We can't break the rules."

The inn owner saw that Xi Yu was firm in his attitude, so he couldn't hold on any longer.

He respected Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian even more in his heart, and secretly decided to be an upright and kind person like them in the future.

That night, Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian slept very sweetly in the inn.

Maybe it's because of the calmness in their hearts, or maybe it's because they know that everything they do makes sense.

The next day, the sun shone on the ground, and Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian continued to move forward with full energy.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian came to a remote intersection. The atmosphere was originally peaceful, but suddenly it was broken.

A masked man appeared with a big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Dropping off the horse quickly!"

Xi Yu's eyes sterned and asked calmly: "Who are you?"

The man replied viciously: "The one who kills you."

After saying that, the man quickly threw a dart at Xi Yu.

At this critical moment, the secret guard immediately dispatched to block the dart like lightning.

They were quick to move and instantly grabbed the masked man. The masked man looked panicked, obviously he didn't expect someone to protect Xi Yu in the dark.

Xi Yu said coldly without fear, "Open this person's mask."

The secret guard took the order and quickly pulled off the masked man's face towel.

When the mask was revealed, Xi Yu was shocked. He never expected that the person in front of him was Lei Bo.

He frowned and asked, "How could it be you?"

The flames of hatred burned in Lei Bo's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I still avenge my father. I didn't succeed in revenge last time, but this time I must succeed."

"Lei Bo, I didn't do it on my own intention. Why are you so persistent in taking revenge?"

Lei Bo couldn't listen at all, and he roared angrily: "No matter what you say, I must avenge my father. Even if I fail today, I will not give up."

Ouyang Lian glared at Lei Bo and accused him angrily: "Lei Bo, you are simply crazy! The last time you assassinated the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister had let you go. I didn't expect you to do such a stupid thing again. Do you know what consequences your behavior will bring?"

Lei Bo turned his head away, his face still full of stubbornness and hatred. "I don't care what the consequences are, I just know that I want to avenge my father."

"You are blinded by hatred. The Prime Minister does everything for the country and the people, and your father's affairs are also of course. You are so obsessed with it, you will only put yourself in a place of doom."

Xi Yu waved his hand and signaled Ouyang Lian to be calm.

Xi Yu calmly commanded, letting one secret guard firmly control Lei Bo, and then called another secret guard to come.

The secret guard approached respectfully, and Xi Yu whispered a few softly in his ear.

The secret guard looked serious and quickly left after listening carefully.

Then, Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Lian and said, "Ouyang Lian, accompany me to walk around and come again later."

Ouyang Lian was full of doubts. He didn't know what the Prime Minister was going to do in this series of actions, but he nodded obediently.

The two of them dismounted and slowly paced around this remote place.

Ouyang Lian didn't dare to disturb him easily, but just stayed quietly by his side.

The breeze blew gently and the leaves rustled, as if telling an unknown story.

And Xi Yu's plan in his heart was like this mysterious atmosphere, which was unpredictable.

Although this remote place is rarely visited, it has a different scenery.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian walked away for a long time without realizing it. Ouyang Lian's doubts became stronger and stronger. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Prime Minister, how do you deal with Lei Bo?"

Xi Yu looked into the distance, looked calm and said lightly: "You will know in a while."

Ouyang Lian was even more curious, but he couldn't ask any more questions.

They continued walking, and the scenery around them continued to change, but Ouyang Lian's thoughts were all about Lei Bo's affairs.

He didn't understand what the Prime Minister had planned. Lei Bo assassinated twice and was punished according to the law, but the Prime Minister seemed to have other ideas.

After a while, Xi Yu felt that the time was almost over, so he took Ouyang Lian to the place where they stopped.

Lei Bo was firmly controlled by the secret guards, and the two secret guards stood by him with serious expressions.

Xi Yu looked at Lei Bo coldly and was silent for a moment.

Under this cold gaze, Lei Bo's heart became more and more panicked and suddenly began to beg for mercy: "Sir, I'm confused for a moment, I hope you let me go."

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a questioning tone: "Is it really just a moment of confusion?"

Lei Bo lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Xi Yu's eyes.

He knew that his reasons were too far-fetched, but at this moment he could only hope for Xi Yu's kindness.

In the yard of Fang Dasao's house, Lei Bo was helping Fang Dasao pick vegetables.

The sun shines on them, and the picture is quiet and warm.

Lei Bo said while picking vegetables: "Mom, I'm leaving home tomorrow and I'm still going to do business in other places."

Mrs. Fang smiled kindly and said, "Just go, young people should go out and explore more."

However, this tranquility was quickly broken.

Suddenly, the secret guard arrived. His figure appeared at the door of the yard. His cold face and serious aura made Lei Bo and Fang Dasao feel nervous.

Lei Bo stood up, his eyes full of vigilance, not knowing what the arrival of the secret guard meant.

Mrs. Fang was also a little nervous.

The secret guard asked the mother and son to follow him in a serious tone, and Mrs. Fang and Lei Bo were both surprised.

Lei Bo frowned and asked, "Why did someone assassinate the Prime Minister?"

The secret guard replied expressionlessly: "That assassin is exactly the same as you."
